For archivists with only newer mail archives, this option allows reserving reserve NNTP article numbers for yet-to-be-archived old messages. Indexers will need to be updated to support this feature in future commits. -V1 inboxes will now be initialized with SQLite and Xapian support if this option is used, or if --indexlevel= is specified.
